Just realised that.. the 'similarities' between the ares and crius to a certain line of IEMs ends superficially. These are armature IEM,s (as opposed to the dynamic drivers of the 'established' look-a-like)

I'd say the Hades is their most unique looking product, and something I'd buy if they passed a sound test and were in a store nearby. Out of these two though, going purely on aesthetics, I'd go for the Ares.
